Pentagon to Oversee Military Zone at Southern Border for Migrant Detention
April 29, 2025 - 04:55
The Pentagon is set to take control of the Roosevelt Reservation, a significant 170-mile stretch of land along the US-Mexico border. This decision allows US troops to operate in the area with the authority to detain migrants who are deemed trespassers. The move comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding border security and immigration enforcement.
The Roosevelt Reservation, which was established to provide a buffer zone for border security, will now serve as a critical point for military involvement in immigration matters. This change is expected to enhance the enforcement capabilities of the US military in addressing the increasing number of migrants attempting to cross the border.
Military personnel will be tasked with monitoring the area and apprehending individuals who illegally enter the United States. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to strengthening border security while navigating the complexities surrounding immigration policies. The implications of this military presence at the border will be closely watched by both supporters and critics of current immigration practices.
